Quote from Chaoswind 4u4p3a
Josei is the female counter part of Seinen... and in my eyes both are pretty much the same, I don't know why they split it like that, is not like the content is any different, just that the lead is a girl >_>
Seinen is far more likely to have violence than Josei. And demographics are more a point of 'target audiences.' Although I am stereotyping, an adult woman is more likely to read a romance with a heroine who overcomes great obstacles and shit, rather than a historical piece about a samurai that hacks people up.
The only way they are the same is that they are both aimed at 18+ readers.

Japs categorize too much
You really haven't read much of both, have you?
There's a subtle difference between them.
For example, I've noticed that Josei people like the
odd manga that goes about the daily life of a cute
cat or puppy, something that 18-30+ women would enjoy more.

detalles... detalles...
Like I said plot wise both relate a lot, yeah yeah, the heroine overcomes obstacles and yada yada yada, but how she does it? hacking people O.o lol well not all the time, BUT you said it
What is seinen? Manga Aimed at males with +18 years old
and Josei is manga aimed at females of the same age
so we can agree that Seinen/Josei is manga aimed at adults regardless of their gender?
I know a lot of guys that LOVE Josei cough Claymore cough, and a lot of Girls that like Seinen more than the Josei, so the Japanese logic is FULL of flaws, just because the lead is a girl that means the only people that will read it are females?, and just because the manga is about a samurai that hacks people doesn't mean the girls won't like it.
with a lot of guys I mean 9 and a lot of girls I mean 16
EDIT: Oh yeah the ones about pets overcoming troubles is also Josei... ok scratch that, only 7 of the males I mentioned are into Josei that much.

Most of the Hentai people would go to seinen.
And why is that?

You differentiate Shoujo and Shounen, yet you don't differentiate Josei and Seinen?

and so I still stand, in the next poll just make it with those 4 🙂 and lets see how the vote goes in that one
I'm 99% sure shoujo would win

First off, Claymore is shounen. Look at the magazine it's serialized in. That's what determines the target demographic, not the content.
These are merely target demographics, it should be obvious that seinen manga isn't supposed to appeal solely to males over ~18, or that shoujo to girls under 16. It's natural that people will have different tastes and like different things, you're delusional if you honestly believe that it's intended to be flawless.

What's wrong with reading josei?
And you shouldn't have done it from the start...
Hrodulf and Bjornolfr, you will not be forgotten.

There is nothing wrong with Josei (that I know) and I was talking with the words of other people... BIG mistake, if you are going to an argument, better go with your own words, anyway I am already fixing that.
EDIT
WTF Midnight Secretary is a Josei? Ok now I do understand your argument, but I think that is the only Josei I am reading, let me check if there are others in any of my list...
Naw, Just Midnight Secretary >_>

There's way too many good choices in this poll. It's hard for those of us who read and love several types. I had to choose yaoi but my favorite type of yaoi is shotacon. I also really wish I could've chosen shoujo, yuri, and hentai. We should have a poll where you can choose up to 3 or something.

Yaoi is winning? So sad.... I blame the people who voted shounen instead of seinen!

There is no one to blame.
and is a sad day for the seinen fans... at least the ones that don't like yaoi
😀
The lesson here is to never underestimate the power of the bishonen gay draws

I voted for shonen-ai, that contains less pornography scenes than yaoi.
if shonen-ai and yaoi were out of the list,maybe i vote Seinen instead.Obviously,Yaoi is taking the win.That's neither sad, nor happy though.Depends on the fans.
And what ChaosWind said above,
we must never underestimate the power of bishonen draws.
Yes, Many yaoi fans, is addicted to bishonen.I agree on that matter.It's somewhat alike with Yuri,bishoujo is just common in our world.XD

Why do women love so much what they will never be able to have?
